Answer 3

beautiful.. i love it.. so unique.. that armys got style.. its not from the n***s.. but the prussians.. prussia used to be an extension of germany but now part of poland.. they trained the chilean army way back before WW1 so they adopted the prussian uniforms and helmets and kept this tradition since then.. its not old.. they modernized it too.. they own leopard II tanks and other modern equipments.. i think its wrong to link them with negative images.. just appreciate the art of its culture.. i wish germany still does this..

Answer 4

Its their tradition, all countries have them, if you are talking about the helmet style most armies use that n**i type helmet because its the most protection

Answer 5

When the Chilean army was organized during the the nineteen century take as model the Prussian army (German)from the organization, the discipline and also the uniform. Anyway, the Prussian style uniform used by the Chilean army is only used in formal event, such parades and other and they use camouflage uniforms for regular or combat activities. The Chilean army is the best organized and most modern in south America, matching whit  NATO standards. The old fashion uniform is part of the traditions and is very silly to think that they have to change the uniform because it resemble to the WWII German uniform.
